Chapter 30 Mu Chen's Dilemma
With the end of the battle between Yang Hong and Mu Chen, the entire freshman tournament also came to a close.
At the same time, a figure in a green robe slowly flew over from a distance.
Li Xuantong looked at Qin Hao and nodded slightly. "Your strength is indeed very strong. See you at the Spirit Arena in three days. I will show you what the strength of the second-ranked player on the Heavenly Ranking is like."
It's a deal.
It's a deal.
After saying that, Li Xuantong looked at Mu Chen, his expression becoming much more solemn. "I'll say it again, leave her. Your presence will only be a burden to her."
This is my final ultimatum to you today. I'll give you a month to consider it for her sake.
If you haven't made the decision I want to see by January, then I will handle it my way.
Believe me, you will suffer a series of defeats within the Northern Cangling Academy until you can no longer move an inch.
I can tell you're a proud person, but I wonder if you can still be proud after a series of failures.
Li Xuantong's words were cold, and his tone carried an undisguised determination.
It can only be said that Mu Chen's strength is indeed somewhat weak at this stage because his nine divine meridians are not unsealed and he does not have the bloodline connection of the Nine Nether Bird to help him.
With just the Great Floating Pagoda Technique, Mu Chen would find it difficult to display the invincible power he should have at this stage in the original work.
Mu Chen did not reply, but stared intently at Li Xuantong.
Li Xuantong frowned slightly. "You don't need to look at me like that. I always keep my word. Either show me enough strength, or do as I say."
After saying this, Li Xuantong left Beiling Mountain without lingering.
Watching Li Xuantong's departing figure, Mu Chen clenched his fists and remained silent.
The defeat inflicted by Yang Hong and the coercion from Li Xuantong left him at a loss for words to describe his feelings.
"Are you alright?" Luo Li asked Mu Chen with concern.
"It's okay, don't worry about me, just let me have some peace and quiet."
Mu Chen forced a smile.
After saying that, he walked alone towards the foot of the mountain.
"You scruffy bird, I'll help you enter the Thunder Domain to refine the Heavenly Thunder Pearl and obtain the essence blood of the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, but you must help me become stronger!"
Mu Chen communicated with the Nine Nether Sparrow Dao in his mind.
"Damn it! Who are you calling a scruffy bird? I am a member of the noble Nine Nether Bird clan!"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to improve my strength as quickly as possible!"
Nine Nether Sparrow straightened his expression and said, "There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation. What you need to do now is adjust your mindset."
I can tell you definitively that your current state is very dangerous; you could easily go berserk from a cultivation deviation.
"I don't have time. Li Xuantong will definitely cause me trouble in a month, and may even take action himself. I don't have time."
Nine Nether Sparrow shook his head disdainfully, "I really don't understand you humans. Why don't you just give up on that girl? If you give up on that girl, Li Xuantong will naturally stop bothering you."
Then you'll have plenty of time to improve your skills.
"No!" Mu Chen resolutely refused, "I can't abandon Luo Li. I made a promise; I will stand in front of him and protect him from everything!"
Nine Nether Sparrow scoffed, "Foolish! Do you know that all methods that can quickly improve one's realm have drawbacks, and most of them consume one's own potential?"
I can guide you in your cultivation to speed up your progress, but to achieve the rapid improvement you desire, you'll need to pay a price similar to this.
"It's alright! I'm willing to pay this price!" Mu Chen said firmly.
"Idiot!" Nine Nether Sparrow mocked without hesitation, "You've overdrawn your potential, so what if you temporarily gain a rapid increase in strength?"
You can stand in front of her for now, but what about later? What will you do when you lose your potential?
According to Li Xuantong, that girl had quite a heavy burden.
Moreover, if this secret technique is discovered by the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, you will inevitably be expelled.
"I..
'
Mu Chen clenched his fists, unsure how to retort for a moment.
Nine Nether Sparrow's smile faded, and his tone turned icy. "Kid, listen to me. Stay away from that girl for now, or we'll both be in trouble. My recovery will be a long way off, and you'll be constantly targeted, slowing down your progress."
Those who achieve great things must never be swayed by personal feelings.
If you truly love her, you should make the right choice. Your stubbornness won't do you any good.
Nine Nether Sparrow didn't want to say these things, but considering that she was currently sealed inside Mu Chen's body, she still had to correct Mu Chen's current state.
"I...I'm not reconciled."
Nine Nether Sparrow sneered again, "What do you have to be unwilling about? No one can have smooth sailing all the time. I used to be much more glorious than you, but now I've still ended up in this state."
If you're really not willing to accept this, then you'd better find a way to let me go. I don't want to be dragged down with you.
"Do I really have absolutely no chance now?" Mu Chen asked, still unwilling to give up.
"No," Nine Nether Sparrow said without hesitation. "But you could try asking your good brother. With him around, even Li Xuantong can't do anything to you."
"You mean Hao-ge is sure to beat Li Xuantong?!" Mu Chen asked in surprise.
"That's for sure. Although I don't know how that monster did it, I sensed the aura of the Black God Thunder on him. Li Xuantong is bound to lose."
"Black God Lightning? What is that?" Mu Chen asked.
"It's no use knowing, and I'm too lazy to explain," Nine Nether Sparrow said dismissively. "But even if he really takes action, he can't protect you every moment."
Your best option is to be patient and let things calm down; taking a step back will open up a whole new world.
If your cultivation is hindered by a momentary impulse, then you may truly have no chance with her anymore.
"Phew~" Mu Chen let out a long breath. "I understand, but I still need to think about it some more."
"Ha, foolish humans."
After saying that, Jiuyouque ignored Mu Chen and fell into a deep sleep again, while she began to think about what her way out should be.
Meanwhile, the newborn area.
Qin Hao approached his supervisor, Mu Ling, and requested a change of residence.
Mu Ling looked at Qin Hao in surprise and asked, "You want to switch to the level seven spirit gathering array? That costs five thousand spirit points a day, are you sure?"
"I'm sure. Please ask Instructor Mu Ling to help with the replacement," Qin Hao said.
He currently has a considerable amount of spiritual points; the 500,000 spiritual points from the first place in the Freshman Assembly have already been credited to his account, and he has enough spiritual points to change his training location.
Mu Ling smiled, then suddenly realized, "That's right. You're a prominent figure in the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy now, so you certainly don't lack spiritual points."
"You flatter me, mentor. I'm hardly a prominent figure," Qin Hao said modestly.
"Whether it is or not is not up to you to decide. Your duel with Li Xuantong is now known throughout the entire academy, and even many academy elders know about it."
With that, Mu Ling tossed Qin Hao's spirit value token back to him. "Alright, the matter is settled. Now you can head directly to the location of the level seven spirit gathering array."
The Spirit Value Card will guide you to a specific residence. Your daily Spirit Value will be automatically deducted; if you fall below 5,000, you will lose your eligibility to reside in the Level 7 Spirit Gathering Array.
"Understood."
After receiving the spirit value token, Qin Hao immediately headed to the area where the level seven spirit gathering array was located.
Upon stepping into the range of the Level 7 Spirit Gathering Array, he immediately felt a dense spiritual energy rushing towards him.
The concentration of spiritual energy within a level seven spirit gathering array is vastly different from that of a level four spirit gathering array, differing by tens of times.
After finding his residence and entering, Qin Hao continued his study of the incomplete divine-level spiritual technique.
